An alternative perspective on Alien.top and the Fediverser project
Tl:dr: Remember the human, even if the project doesn’t work, it wasn’t as useless as it may seem, resources consumption may be concerning...
This magazine is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

I think there’s a need for a social media platform that allows users to create multiple customizable feeds tailored to their specific, fluid interests over time....

If you think Lemmy is a bit too quiet today, that’s probably why....
TLDR: This is a long post, so a shorter question you can respond to is:...
I made the choice of hosting some Fediverse software on a domain name I own, however that piece of software (Akkoma, upgraded from Pleroma) has since become unacceptably unstable, and I’d like to switch to something else. I read that if I’m already federating with other servers, I shouldn’t switch software on the same...
So, Lemmy is sometime missing content. I don’t regret switching from Reddit to Lemmy but, expecially for niche communities, the content isn’t always here....
I run a server calckey.world , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain....
I always used old.reddit.com with RES on my desktop. I’ve started using old.lemmy.world now, and I love the familiarity, but I realize how much I miss RES. I wish there was something for the old.lemmy.world that offered the same enhancements.
I’ve noticed we have bots copy pasting Reddit submissions. Is there a method to block them all?...
To see the original discussion, you can see this thread: lemmy.ca/post/8488573...
The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:...
Hi everyone, I have some technical questions regarding federation. Answers backed by documentation would be perfect....
I’ve tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I’ve upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?
Anyone here into cryptosystems? Electronic voting? I would be interested in a solution to the following problems or some variants....
I noticed that kbin has stalled in development recently and the ongoing problems with federation etc. made me use it even less for the past few weeks. I even spent more time on reddit than here....
Greetings! I joined the Fediverse near the beginning of this year. Mastodon was the first platform I joined. Since then, I have been enjoying my experience, and recently, I joined Lemmy and found myself using that site almost as much as I did with Reddit (before the mass exodus)....
I’m thinking of spinning up some streaming for a couple of games in the near future, (I always do massive 400+ hour factories in Satisfactory) and was wondering if there’s a place or software to stream on that’s not Amazon, Google, Microsoft, or Meta? I’m not looking for revenue or massive followers, this would just be...
Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?...
Hey, if there are any folks here involved in friendly forks of fediverse software - Do you use any fancy merge strategies to merge upstream changes into your fork? What's your mileage?...
Hi folks!...
The fascinating thing about PeerTube right now is that the frontend experience actually seems to be best on other services. This is primarily because discoverability between instances is fairly poor due to both federation mechanics and due to the nature of bootstrapping social. Because Lemmy and Mastodon feature their own human...
So since the mass-exodus from Reddit we can see that the total amount of active users has gone down rather heavily: i.imgur.com/MeQok2F.png...
